    Hey Blake I appreciate these types of videos that you put out. I don’t see a lot of UA-camrs who post this type of content. However you should be more careful and not select certain rides (UberX Share and multiple stops) because it’ll do more harm than good when it comes to earnings. Just my 2 cents and something I try to avoid as a driver myself! :) Great video and take care!

    The waiting area is crazy. I also never understood why guys would wait for a ride

      In my area I see sometimes 20 people sitting at the airport with no flights coming in. Surge rates all over the city. almost every time i drop someone at the airport i pick up a perfectly good ride immediately going back out into town, so every driver sitting there is rejecting it. I have no idea what these people are waiting for. Theres money all over the city.

      @@BCisme111 Waiting for airport rides is stupid. Such a waste of time. I drove by the airport waiting area last like 2 days ago and there was between 50-60 cars waiting for a stupid airport pickup. I thought to myself, these idiots are going to be waiting here for an hour or more. You're better off going out to the city and just hitting the streets and getting rides that way. At least you'll be constantly busy and getting pick ups here and there instead of waiting for 2 hours for one good banger. Some people just don't think.

    You should consider doing airport runs. The reason so many drivers wait there is because the fares are much higher and the passengers are way more likely to tip well. You can make a lot more at the airport.

    People like doing the airport runs because hopefully you can get the passenger to stop at a liquor store or dispensary before hotel for kickback i dont find it worth it and im in the premier suv queue which never has more than 20-30 cars, a lot of drivers will sit there to take a break while waiting on rides

      I was doing both at the same time but I still need to get a vehicle inspection for Lyft. I’ll need to do one for Uber by the end of the month. Any idea if Lyft excepts Uber’s inspection form?

    I was laughing at your airport comments. I regularly drop off at Newark Airport in NJ. After one year driving, still dont know the point of waiting forever in the rideshare lot. I can just leave the airport and get a regular ride immediately. It only makes sense for NYC drivers that want to catch an arrival going into NY.

    In a way riding Uber could be more cost effective than owning a car. A car is a big expense, payment, maintenance, repairs, insurance, gas.
